Exquisite Six Strand Pearl Necklace • Amethyst & Diamond 18ct Gold Clasp • Anchorcert Certificate, 1950s

1940 - 1960
Description

Exquisite Six Strand Pearl Necklace with Amethyst & Diamond Clasp, 1950s

This sensational vintage necklace is a statement of timeless elegance. Composed of six beautifully matched strands of cultured saltwater pearls, it is secured by a spectacular amethyst and diamond cluster clasp.

At the heart of the clasp rests a richly coloured oval-cut amethyst, its delicate lilac-purple hue encircled by approximately 1 carat of dazzling natural diamonds. Each stone is finely set in 18ct gold, creating a radiant floral effect that is as enchanting today as it was in the 1950s.

The creamy ivory pearls, displaying soft pink overtones and a superb lustre, are individually hand-knotted for both beauty and security. Their quality is instantly apparent, smooth to the touch and glowing with depth. For versatility, the longest strand is detachable, offering different ways to wear and style this exceptional jewel.

Accompanied by an AnchorCert Gem Lab certificate confirming the pearls are cultured saltwater and the clasp is set with amethyst and natural diamonds, this necklace offers complete assurance of authenticity.

A truly impressive jewel, it drapes with elegant weight and presence, making it the perfect choice for an affluent collector or as an unforgettable gift.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Popularised in the mid-20th century, multi-strand pearl necklaces feature multiple concentric rows of pearls held together by an ornate clasp. These pieces sit close to the neck or collarbone, reflecting post-war high fashion and tailored elegance.

Fine jewellery pieces from this era typically feature cultured saltwater or freshwater pearls strung on silk thread. The clasps were crafted in 18ct gold or platinum and often set with gemstones such as amethysts, diamonds, rubies, or sapphires.

Authentic mid-century pearl jewellery often features individual hand-knotting between each pearl to prevent friction and loss. Look for standard precious metal hallmarks on the clasp closure alongside classic gem-setting techniques like claw or halo mounts.

While intended as wearable fine jewellery, multi-strand pearl necklaces can be incorporated into interior decor by displaying them on vintage mannequin busts, velvet-lined dressing table trays, or within glass-topped jewellery cabinets.

Pearls should be stored flat in a soft fabric-lined box away from direct heat and moisture to prevent silk thread stretching. Wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth after wearing, avoiding exposure to perfumes, hairsprays, and chemical cleaners.
